The Fuji TV television and producer is on the tightrope after the scandal of sexual assault that involves Masahiro Nakaia famous presenter and former member of SMAP. The resignation of the fat fish Shuji Kano and Koichi Minato did not calm the waters and Sponsors have been retiring in stampede, leaving long franchises like “Chibi Maruko-chan“Without support already”Sazae-san”With only one company supporting it: Nishimatsuyaa company dedicated to products for children.
All chaos began in 2020, when Nakai was accused of assaulting a woman at a dinner organized by Fuji TV staff. Although he denies having used violence and resolved the case in a millionaire agreement with the victim, the public did not let him pass. The big brands such as Nissan, Toyota and even Nintendo withdrew their television ads, while the networks continue to fill with generalized memes and criticisms.
In Japanese forums, users already speculate on the future of these undeniable anime classics. Some wonder if the producers of “Chibi Maruko-chan” and “Sazae-San” will dare to look for other television stations after more than 50 and 30 years broadcast on Fuji TV, respectively, while others enjoy watching this great company fall.
Even the new president, appointed in the midst of the controversy, Kenji Shimizu, does not seem to convince the public with his promise to “start things again.” Thus, things paint badly for the television network, which faces the worst crisis in its history. Now fans only have to see if these two long anime will be victims of the so -called “Nakai Shock” and if Fuji TV will temporarily withdraw their participation in other production committees, which surely involve some of your favorite anime.
